What hope can we have for the dead?

  1

Job 14:14-15
If a man die, shall he live again ?
All the days of my warfare would I wait,
Till my release should come.
15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee:
Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.

  2

John 5:28-29
Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh,
in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29 and shall come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of judgment.

John 11:25-26

he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;
26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me
shall never die. Believest thou this?

Revelation 20:12-13
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne;
and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and
death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works.
